Karnataka,
India. It is mostly popular in the rural areas of Southern Karnataka. It is made of
ragi (
finger millet) flour.
Ragi-Rotti means
ragi-pancake in the native language,
Kannada. It is prepared in the same way as

onions and
carrots, chopped
coriander and
cumin seeds can also be added for taste. Oil is spread over a
griddle (
tava) and a small amount of the dough is neatly spread over it to resemble a thin pancake (
rotti). Small amount of oil is spread over it and the
griddle is cooked over heat till the
rotti turns crisp. Ragi Rotti is served hot and is eaten along with
